ITO films have the unique property that they can be both electrically conducting (and to be used for a gate electrode for example) as well as optically transparent (at least in the visible part of the spectrum). In the near infrared (NIR) the transmission typically reduces. However, the light absorption can in principle be compensated by growing thinner films.","PeriodicalId":175863,"journal":{"name":"2014 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials & Devices","volume":"14 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128990157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

C. Tettamanzi et al, 2014 New J. Phys., 16 063036) by using a single dopant atom quantised charge pump (SDA-QCP). The characteristics of the SDA-QCP were found to be quite different from the more conventional quantum dot charge pumps (QD-QCPs). This difference originates from the intrinsic dissimilarity in the confinement potential that traps the electrons during the pumping cycle and results in a lower non-adiabatic excitation error rate for the SDA-QCP. Here the experimentally determined performance of the SDA-QCP is compared to a new model that describes the behaviour in terms of frequency, power and the position of the dopant in the channel.","PeriodicalId":175863,"journal":{"name":"2014 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials & Devices","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128186457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasing the operating temperature is shown to lead to a reduction in the resistance of the high-resistance state and to a reduction in the threshold switching voltage.

The set of transport equations for fluctuations was solved to obtain spectral densities of fluctuations of electrical potential, quasi-Fermi levels, and temperature. The spectral density of both, shot and lf fluctuations of generation-recombination processes were taken into account in the model to analyze their effect on noise currents. Effect of dislocations, metal site vacancies, as well as 1/f mobility fluctuations, thermal and diffusion noises have been included in the model. The built-in electric field regions have been identified as sources of shot GR noise and 1/f mobility noises. The barrier area is the main source of 1/f current noise in HgCdTe barrier detectors. The presence of misfit dislocations in the depletion regions results in the growth of dark current and hence the growth of noise current which is always proportional to the total dark current.","PeriodicalId":175863,"journal":{"name":"2014 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials & Devices","volume":"3 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114135705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
